Supernatural Chair
Made by Moroso
Designed by Ross Lovegrove
Designed by Ross Lovegrove in 2005, the Supernatural Chair emerged from his sustained inquiry into the intelligence of natural form. Its monocoque shell, molded in reinforced polypropylene, is not simply a seat but a single continuous surface where structure and ornament are one and the same.
The perforated silhouette is a direct expression of material efficiency: each void reduces weight while preserving rigidity, borrowing a logic more common to aerospace than to furniture. The result is a chair that feels almost skeletal in its lightness, yet reads as a complete and confident object from every angle.
- Fluid monocoque construction in reinforced polypropylene
- Organic perforation pattern derived from structural necessity
- Stackable up to eight chairs high
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor environments
- Available in a range of colors and upholstered configurations
Equally at home on a sheltered terrace, in a hospitality dining room, or within a considered residential interior, the Supernatural adapts without compromising its character. Its stackability makes it a practical choice for contract and hospitality environments where storage and flexibility are as important as form.
